I was 17 and pregnant. I got an abortion on the 28 of August. It was a relief. I wasn’t ready to be a mom, the father wasn’t in the picture and the emotional trauma that it was gonna cause me to give it away; I wouldn’t survive. I didn’t mean to get pregnant but I have no regrets, putting it up for adoption would never be an option based on the system today.
